Introduce some sort of API to list all versions of opentofu un-paginated

[Yantrio]

OpenTofu Version

any

Use Cases

Allow people to download versions of opentofu without hitting all pages on the github releases page (or API).

Attempted Solutions

Proposal

As part of the release process, I recommend we upload some metadata about the releases to a json file that we can serve somewhere on opentofu. This means end users can get a list of all of our releases easily.

This was mentioned as something that's needed in the terraform-switch project: warrensbox/terraform-switcher#315 (comment)

How about serving it from r2 in the same way as we do for the registry?

I made a page here that seems to line up similar to the terraform release page

• preview https://nitrocode.github.io/opentofu/
• code https://github.com/nitrocode/nitrocode.github.io/blob/main/opentofu/main.py

Temporarily assigning to myself as I have a prototype up in the get.opentofu.org repo, but it needs work.
